Dragonwell

Legend has it that a monk summoned a dragon to save a village from a drought. The rains came and a well is still present today delivering fresh spring water to the meadow. Our Organic Dragonwell is cultivated in the Spring time in the West lake of Zhejiang, China. The leaves drenched in morning dew make this tea a prized modity. A favorite of the tea connoisseur with its four unique characteristics: flat sword shaped leaves, jade green color, fresh aroma, and a gentle mellow flavor.

OK. If you think you know green tea and have not tried Dragonwell, you don’t know green tea.

If you think you know green tea and have tried Dragonwell, but not Art of Tea’s Dragonwell, you still don’t know green tea.

I might be a little bias, as this is my absolute favorite green tea. And since green tea is my favorite kind of tea, I guess this makes it my favorite tea. period.

Here’s the thing though guys, this tea is not for everybody. It takes the “grassyness” of sencha and turns it upside down. We are talking major morning dewiness here. It still has that fresh cut lawn aroma and taste that other greens have, except this time the lawn is a football field!

If you do not know what I am talking about (i.e. you are saying to yourself “how can a tea be grass like, and how in the world could that be a good thing”), read one of our tea tasting guidelines and start off ordering a Green Tea Sampler Pack to get in touch with the green lover in all of us.

However, if you’re like me and are a self proclaimed green tea addict… buckle up and get some Art of Tea Dragonwell.

Tip: Like all green teas, please be mindful of a correct steeping time and temperature. I usually steep at 170 for only about 2 minutes and then re steep at 185 for about 3 minutes.
